3500 Watt Generator

HOW MANY INFLATABLES CAN IT POWER?

Our 3500 Watt Generator can power only ONE compatible inflatable blower at a time. This makes it a convenient choice for many individual bounce houses, slides, or inflatable games that have one blower.

Generator compatibility depends on the blower's running wattage, startup demand, and electrical requirements. Some larger inflatable attractions may require more power or multiple blowers and will not be suitable for this generator.

Need power for multiple inflatables? Upgrade to our 6500 Watt Generator Rental, which is advertised as supporting up to three compatible inflatable blowers, subject to their combined power requirements.

FUEL & GENERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION

Fuel Included: Your generator rental comes with an initial fuel supply estimated to last approximately 6–10 hours. Actual runtime depends on generator load, operating conditions, and equipment usage.

Additional Fuel: If your event lasts longer than the included fuel supply, the renter is responsible for refueling. Use only the fuel approved for the actual generator model.

Outdoor Operation Only: Fuel-powered generators produce deadly carbon monoxide. Never operate a generator indoors, inside a garage, near open doors or windows, or beneath a party tent. Position it outdoors in a well-ventilated location at least 20 feet from buildings when practicable, following all manufacturer requirements.

Safe Refueling: Never refuel while the generator is running or hot. Shut it down and allow it to cool before adding fuel. Keep approved fuel containers away from ignition sources and event guests.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the 3500 Watt Generator cost to rent?

The listed rental price is $125. Delivery fees and minimum rental order requirements vary by event location.

How many bounce houses can this generator power?

Our 3500 Watt Generator is limited to one compatible inflatable blower. If your event has multiple blowers, ask about a larger generator or additional power sources.

Does the generator include fuel?

Yes! Each rental comes with fuel estimated to last approximately 6–10 hours. Actual runtime varies with electrical demand and operating conditions.

What happens if the generator runs out of fuel?

The renter is responsible for adding approved fuel if continued operation is needed. Always shut the generator off and let it cool before refueling.

What type of gasoline does the generator use?

The exact model and fuel specifications aren't published. Confirm the manufacturer's recommended fuel type before refueling.

Will the generator last for a six-hour birthday party?

The included fuel is estimated for 6–10 hours of use, so it may cover a typical six-hour event. However, actual runtime isn't guaranteed and depends on the connected equipment and operating conditions.

Can this generator power an obstacle course?

Only if the attraction uses one compatible blower and its electrical requirements are within the generator's operating capacity. Many larger obstacle courses use multiple blowers and may need more power.

Can I connect two bounce house blowers?

No. This generator is advertised for a maximum of one blower. Connecting more than one blower could overload the generator and interrupt power to your inflatable equipment.

What's the difference between the 3500 and 6500 Watt Generators?

The 3500 Watt Generator is intended for one compatible inflatable blower. Our 6500 Watt Generator is advertised for up to three compatible blowers, depending on the combined load.

Is a generator needed at a park?

Often, yes. Many parks do not provide electrical outlets suitable for inflatable blowers. Check your park's generator policies and available electrical facilities before booking.

Can the generator be used at school events?

Yes, when permitted by the school and properly positioned outdoors. It's useful for compatible inflatable attractions at school carnivals, field days, and fundraising events.

Can I operate the generator inside a garage?

No. Never operate fuel-powered generators inside a garage, building, or any enclosed or partially enclosed area. Carbon monoxide from generator exhaust can be deadly.

Can I put the generator underneath a tent?

No. The generator must remain outdoors with safe ventilation and manufacturer-required clearances. Do not operate it beneath a party tent or enclosed canopy.

How far should the generator be from guests and buildings?

Keep it outdoors, at least 20 feet from buildings, doors, windows, and vents where practicable, and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Position exhaust away from occupied areas and maintain safe separation from event guests.

Does it have standard electrical outlets?

The exact outlet types and available amperage aren't listed on the product page. Confirm the generator's connection options before planning your equipment setup.

Does 3500 watts mean 3500 running watts?

Not necessarily. A generator may be advertised by either starting wattage or running wattage. Confirm the model's continuous output and startup capacity before connecting equipment.

Can the generator power a popcorn or cotton candy machine?

Possibly, if the connected appliance's power requirements are compatible with the generator's available output and outlets. Do not assume it can power a concession machine and inflatable blower simultaneously.

Does the generator need to run the entire time a bounce house is in use?

Yes. Inflatable attractions using constant-air blowers must remain powered during operation. If the generator stops, the blower stops and the inflatable may deflate. Participants should immediately stop using the inflatable if power is interrupted.

Can I rent the generator by itself?

You can select the generator as a rental item, but delivery minimums may require other qualifying equipment in your order. Contact our team about available arrangements if you only need portable power.

Is delivery free in Vancouver, WA?

Vancouver has a $0 delivery charge for qualifying orders meeting the $245 rental minimum. With a $125 generator rental, another $120 in eligible rental equipment would be needed if this is the only item ordered.

When will my generator be delivered?

Delivery may occur up to 24 hours before your scheduled rental period at no additional cost, depending on scheduling. Pickup is arranged after your event.
